JJ93 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) If we forget the split, according to our points tally and goal difference we would have finished joint eighth in the league. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-premiership/table Unbelievable. This isn't an anti-Levein post but I must say that Budge must really believe in him. Sometimes football is far too short-sighted with managers and players coming in and out within a blink of an eye. Hopefully this long term strategy pays off, as it hasn't in the short-term... be it because of injuries or otherwise. Looking forward to getting more summer signings. Hopefully we can start the new season like we did the last. Edited June 13, 2019 by JJ93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 You cant ignore the split, the teams with more points than us have been playing the 5 worst teams in the league in the final 5 games, while we played the top 5 teams in the league and even then we end up 1 point behind St Johnstone.

William H. Bonney Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I don’t like levein, I want him out but you do realise we were in the top six, therefore we played top six teams. Motherwell had an easier run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can start the new season like we did the last. How can we forget the split when it gave us a totally different set of fixtures to those in the bottom half? Of course the 7th placed team picked up more points than the 6th placed team, they faced 5 teams worse than them while we faced Celtic, the rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs and Kilmarnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 JOINT 8TH? No, that's not how 'joint' works. If St Johnstone finished 6th, we'd be 7th. If our goal difference was the same as Motherwell's - which it wasn't - we'd be JOINT 7TH, not 8th. You may as well say "If we forget about us winning 10 games this past season, we'd have finished in the play-off spot"! Ridiculous! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Can’t believe Ive read the whole thread. Last season is over. I’m already looking ahead. Sick of the constant CL bashing at times as it’s the same old turgid stuff. I’m sure the club know what to do this year if we have a repeat of the last two seasons. Why someone feels the need to start a thread about this is either a troll, attention seeker or a leith vermin. Glass half full here so I predict a 3rd place finish. Avoid he erase cheeks and we could have another two good cup runs. HHGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Tbf although the split does mean we played harder teams, we dropped points to all of the supposed worse teams. However the leagues over, the management isn’t changing before the start of the season so fingers crossed they get recruitment right this summer and we improve next season. Bring on 12th July!!

NaturalOrder74 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The splits just unbalanced and absolutely crafted to give advantages where possible to the old film, if anything, if they have to do a split (i don’t think they should) but if it was to be balanced it should be one home one away game then a split then one home game one away game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
